The Way Out For The South

The wlvole north is iilled, not with hatred aguinst you, (i. e., the south,) but with a growing sense of that splendid nat fonal brothcrhood which tturns lts back npou the cstrangeHieut of the past, and looks to the future of the great Republic and ite sublinir miseion amo-ng the nations and in the nuklst of the ages. (Applausp.) Wie read with compassion of the meeting of your planters to siga agreoim-nts limiting the acreage of cottou. 'We show you a better way. We did not invent it. We got jt from a man vrho once represented iny friend's (Mr. JIcMillin) district In the House, írom a man who though born in thé taoiith, recorded his vote licre against the reducti'on of the duties on woolen and cotton cloth, as well as against putting cotton bagging on the f ree list. That man was Andrew Jaokson, of Tennessee. He got the idea, I think, from Benjamin Franklin, and we have inherited it throuefh Horace Greeley and Abraham Lincoln from both. I have here the original autograph letletter written by Franklin in the last eentury from Ixmdon to an American frtend, worn and faded by time; a letter wiiich iis preserved in the office of the Sixth Auditor of the Treasury a a memorial of early American WiisAm. In that letter he laysTtown the practical plnlo.sophy of our affairs, a philosophy wliich I regret to na.y fseems now to be despised by the democratie nartv: Every manufacturer encouraged in ■our own country makes a home marta; Bmá gaves so mucli nioney to tlie country that imifit otherwise be expoi-ted. ín England it is -svell known that ivliracrer a manufactory is establiixlK'd whlch employs a uumber oí hands it ratees the valué of the land in the neishboriiig country all around it, partly by the grmter demand near at hiand for the producís of the land and partly by the increase oí monev drawn by the lnanuiacturers to that place. It eeems, therciore, to the interest of all our farmers and owners of land to encourage home turo iu preierence tr foreirn ones ímported from distant countries. I -n-ill read also from Parton's "Life of General Jack-son," the last half of nis letter to Dr. Coleman, the first part of which Governor Dingley read here the other day: I wllí asik wJint is tho real situation of the agriculturist? Where has the American farmer a markot w lwis surplus producte? Except lor cotton, lio has neither a foreign nor a lïomc market. Does not this clearlv trove wiicu tlipi-c te no market at home abroad there fe too mucta labor emiptoyed In aitriculture? Comni'oii sen.se at once jioints out the remedy.

(Applause.) From that lev1! of patriotte common sense the democratie party has gone gradliiaüy clown uut il last week we had the epeefcacle of ni.v yotin.ii friend from Nebraeka (Mr. Bryau) advising thO farmers ot' this country to increase their ])rofit by taking their breadstnffe and moat throua'h the desertcd streets of their oirn country to England and making thut their market tor all tliey have to sell and all bhey ïv.'i'ü to buy.
